Purveyor of Britain’s new favourite car heads upmarket with larger plug-in hybrid SUV It’s a measure of the astonishing success of Jaecoo, one of the leaders in the current Chinese car sales offensive, that it has so far managed to lead the 2026 UK market without even offering an acknowledged flagship. Its business has so far been done by the lesser 5 and 7 models.Now the Jaecoo 8 has arrived to make life hard for larger SUVs like the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, the Skoda Kodiaq and – if you want to stretch a point – the BMW X5 and Range Rover Sport.Those vehicles are all named as targets for the new flagship by Jaecoo, whose UK success has taken even the importer by surprise. Thanks mostly to stellar sales of the mid-sized 7, the marque was the UK’s top-selling car brand in March 2026, selling a car every 83 seconds during business hours through its network of 124 dealers.
